By law, your not obliged to report or do anything if you run over a cat, but a dog you have to.

As soon as i saw this thread, it bought the memory straight back to me, i even visualised it in my head. I`m going back about 30 years, maybe even more, but i ran one over in my van at the time, it just ran straight out in front of me. As a decent human being, i stopped and tried to help it, but as soon as i picked it up, i knew it was going. i can still remember it as well, i was holding it by both hands and within a minute or so, it just totally straightened out like a plank of wood and went, in that position, it was an horrible thing to see in all honesty.

i lay it gently by the side of the road and left. Back then, i probably wasn`t sure what else to do, but as an older human being now, i wish i`d buried it properly.

So i guess `etiquette` depends on what sort of person you are in the first place as to what you`d do. There are alot of people out there who`d run over and kill a human being and drive off, simply because they`ve had a drink or something, so i`m guessing those people can`t even spell the word etiquette, much less live by it.
